Watching the leaves fall past my window I remember you Like a breathe of autumn wind your memory creeps in again And all my hard won indifference flutters like a leaf to the ground I cannot seem to lose you in this cold autumn wind Leaving me lonely, leaving me chilled, And I long for the warmth of the summer sun |

Paula~ What a glow ! Of course I'm sitting here with the air conditioner going ... so it's a little difficult to visualize the cool winter ... but I'm trying ! LOL !  ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

I love the Autumn and watching the leaves fall from the trees. This is a a wonderful poem you have penned and though it has sadness in it..memories are all so sweet. |

Paula.... This is my favorite time of year, although a lot of memories are left behind, like warm days, warm nights and someone to share them with. Beautiful poem!! Today is a gift.... That is why they call it 'the Present'! |

Paula, This is so very pretty...I love the fall and how it so often does bring memories long forgotten to mind. Michael Proust- "Love is space and time measured by the heart" |

I tend to be cold-blooded...or is that warm-blooded? I am cold most of the time so I really felt this one...and moving on will come, eventually. |

I really like the way you tie the emotions into the changing seasons. The cold and bite of autumn, with its symbolic falling leaves, versus the warmth and comfort of summer's content. Maybe I'm tired, but that's what it says to me! In any event, it's a fine piece and a pleasure to read. Trev. |
